Griff No 4 Colliery
Well griced by moonlight: standing a few metres South of Croft Road towards Heath End Road, we are close to two disused trackbeds. Under the trees to the right, one railway connecting Nuneaton Brick Works to the Coventry Canal - and later serving Griff #4 colliery - passed under Croft Road; the road bridge was a single track bottleneck, filled in and demolished in the 1980s (there are still sink marks in the tarmac road surface). The tarmac footpath leads (curving left after the lamp post) to the track of a waste line from the tile works, which is now a line of trees in a local green space.
